Procedure
If you would like to request SPSS, please click "Request Software," and place an order for SPSS. If you are accessing this from off campus, you will need to be connected to WyoSecure to place an order. Granting access to this software is a manual process, so it will not happen instantly.
Cost
IT covers a significant part of the SPSS cost, but departments are billed for part of each SPSS license per device on a pro-rated basis through the year. Departments should plan on an estimated 10 – 15% increase per year thereafter. Information Technology and the Central Student Technology Committee will continue to pay for a portion of the SPSS subscription for use in the UWStudent Computer Labs.
